I really like my current boat, but I want to start living aboard and the marina requires a minimum of a 35' boat for liveaboard. A 33-34' boat with a anchor, swim platform, or davit mounted dinghy is probably okay, but a my Ericson 29' isn't even close.
Ericson 35s are my top choice right now. I'm very happy with the sailing, quality, and design of my 29 so might as well just get a very similar boat.
I've also looked at an Islander 36s, but the v-birth seemed rather claustrophobic as compared to what I have now. I'll probably look at them again, but for now it's a probably "no".
Here are a couple of questions for now. Does anyone have thoughts on the Dinette vs. the settee version of the E35? And, perhaps it slightly taboo to ask about non-Ericson boats in here, but are there any other manufacturer's boats in a similar size/price/quality range which I should be looking into?
Cheers!
